Cardinia Art Response Grant for Covid-19
‘Please Stand Here’ is a participatory work that responds to Covid -19 by inviting a reactivation of our public spaces. Social distancing measures has seen our public spaces closed, perspex screens go up and tape and stickers on shop floors directing us how to behave in public.
This project requires participants to use their feet only. Using temporary spot marking paint, a series of directional diagrams are created along pathways and grassed areas in local parks and squares.
In the style of old dance charts, with dotted lines, arrows and other simple, bold symbols, these diagrams beckon children and adults to participate. They act as a follow the leader style intervention where everyone inclusive of ages and ability, can join in. By interpreting and following the directional diagram around the space, participants can walk, run, jump, hop, wheel or otherwise move around and through the space.
Please Stand Here was installed outside the Cardinia Cultural Centre during the What’s On Cardinia Art Festival, February 2022.
